What you get with either
Both consolidate Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB ledgers, including groups that mix them, and accept spreadsheets. Both map charts of accounts and eliminate intercompany balances, build report packs, send them on a schedule, and offer a 14-day free trial. So the choice comes down to what happens next: Report Craft takes the consolidation through to the signed-off Australian pack, then into the client's own portal.
What it costs a smaller practice
Report Craft bills per ledger in Australian dollars, the rate falls as you grow, and consolidations are free.
